> I am witnessing an apparent leak in the memory tracking used to determine when a flush
is necessary.
> Over time, this will result in every single document being flushed into its own segment
as the memUsage will remain above the configured buffer size, causing a flush to be triggered
after every add/update.
> Best I can figure, this is being caused by TermsHashPerField's tracking of memory usage
for postingsHash and/or postingsArray combined with multi-threaded feeding.
> I suspect that the TermsHashPerField's postingsHash is growing in one thread, then, when
a segment is flushed, a single, different thread will merge all TermsHashPerFields in FreqProxTermsWriter
and then call shrinkHash(). I suspect this call of shrinkHash() is seeing an old postingsHash
array, and subsequently not releasing all the memory that was allocated.
> If this is the case, I am also concerned that FreqProxTermsWriter will not write the
correct terms into the index, although I have not confirmed that any indexing problem occurs
as of yet.
> NOTE: i am witnessing this growth in a test by subtracting the amount or memory allocated
(but in a "free" state) by perDocAllocator/byteBlockAllocator/charBlocks/intBlocks from DocumentsWriter.memUsage.get()
in IndexWriter.doAfterFlush()
> I will see this stay at a stable point for a while, then on some flushes, i will see
this grow by a couple of bytes, and all subsequent flushes will never go back down the the
previous state
> I will continue to investigate and post any additional findings
